In [[Africa]], paleontology understudy Susan and her husband, [[Intrepid Reporter|George]], discover that the local legend of the [[w:Mokele-mbembe|Mokèlé-mbèmbé]] is in fact a family of living brontosauruses - a father, mother and offspring. In doing so, George and Susan accidentally lead mercenary scientist [[Jerkass|Eric]] and his hired team of soldiers, who kill the father brontosaurus and capture the mother, leaving George and Susan the sole caregivers of the infant, whom they nickname "Baby". They fight to protect Baby frm the dinosaur hunters and rescue Baby's mother.
A 1985 live-action [[Walt Disney|Disney]] film released under its Touchstone label, ''Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend'' was [[Darker and Edgier]] than most of Disney's fare at the time, but still insisted on moments of cuteness involving Baby. As a result, the film mostly failed to find an audience and is typically dismissed by critics. However, it is fondly remembered by most of the people who saw it as children in the 1980s.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: The natives. Twice.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Cephu, the native chief. Moreso when he gets a machine gun.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Inverted with George, and then played straight. Initially he's interested only in African baseball stories and not wanting to go searching for dinosaurs, once they actually find them he is as starry-eyed as his wife.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: George.
* [[Magical Native American]]: Cephu and his tribe seem to disappear when Susan mentions the Mokèlé-mbèmbé, possibly a case of [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]. as this isn't explained.
* [[Mama Bear]]: The way the mother broto goes after poor Eric, you'd swear she was a carnivore.
* [[Mook Lieutenant]]: Sergeant Gambwe to Colonel Nsogbu. Then to Eric after Nsogbu pushes Eric's buttons one time too many.
* [[More Dakka]]: How the father brontosaurus dies.
